Be it known that I, CHARLES E. HAYES, of Lancaster City, Lancastercounty, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Money or other Drawers; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the constructionand operation of same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,making a part of this specification, in which-'- Figure No. 1 representsa drawer with tongues attached;

Figure 2, the groove and spring attachment.

Figure 3, tongue and groove attachment as when drawer is closed.

Figure 4, tongue and groove attachment as when drawer is open.

The grooved and spring attachments being secured to the counter in theirproper positions and the tongues fixed on drawer, the drawer being putin place and closed, the drawer cannot be drawn out from outside ofcounter except with great difi'ioulty and heavy strain.- i

The operation is as follows: To open the drawer it must be pushedbackuntil E, the one end of tongue, A, passes and fully clears tongue D,when a downward pressure must be exerted so to depress spring C,allowing tongue A to enter groove G in this position the drawer beingforced up by spring 0, and F end of tongue A, there will be two powersbrought into play acting-at right angles, rendering it almost impossiblefor any one on opposite or outside of counter to open drawer.

What I claim, therefore as 'my invention, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, isi The tongue and groove pieces, with spring attachmentto be made of wood or other materiah aud for the purpose-set forth inthe specification.

CHARLES E. HAYES.
